I have a whole passel of kids, so the clubs aren't really a possibility. I am Christian, so church becomes an option, but my church is small. I think I need to spend less time on the computer and more time out in the world.

Well, depending on where your interests lie, there are running clubs, book clubs, and other special interest groups. Here we have the beach, the dog beach, the dog park. We have some preserves close where people kayak, bike, run...
You could start a social group at your church where members might bring other people to planned events like rock climbing, movies, dinners, bowling. That might widen the circle a little.
Scope out what's in your area. You might be surprised what you find.

I am available. And with dating me, I will let you lie, cheat and drink as much as your heart desires. But please be prepared for some empty threats. And the good part is, I will always be there for you, no matter how terrible you treat me! So are we going to a movie, or dinner? I'll pay.

LOL!! You sound like quite a catch, Crazed, but just the fact you have a well paying job would be a major turn off for me. And if you didn't constantly reek of cigarettes and put my life in danger every time I got in your car, FORGET IT!

Seriously, Stella.. What about volunteering somewhere? It gets you out and puts you into contact with people who are doing good in the world? Or, Meet Ups? I don't know very much about them but they seem interesting because you are meeting people who like to do the samw things you like to do...

Yunno, she seems to come with the kid accessory package that an Instant Family Guy like you would be looking for . . . .
Just saying.
Y'all need phone numbers or something?

Well, I found my friend (okay, really, he's my boyfriend, but my commitment issues has me just calling him my friend) at work, BUT I like the nerdy type. Which he is, but I thought I would've met someone like him at the comic book store, tabletop gaming group, etc. THAT'S my type of guy. Of course, YMMV.

Oh yes, thank you Zee - my dog can clear a room - wouldn't want that on a first date!
I second the Meet Ups.
The main point here is its not as much where you meet them , its how prepared you are to be able to weed out the ones that will qualify you for a few more years on SR!

I have met some very interesting people, both men and women on the golf course.
If you are not a golfer I can only suggest a lesson or two.
Very entertaining, challenging and a bit humbling at times too. #$%@ who would have thought it would be so difficult to hit a ball!
Seems the people I meet on the golf course have manners, and social grace, I think that's a good start.

I have a girlfriend that successfully has met several guys at Home Depot. She goes there and scopes it out then if she sees a guy she is interested in she will ask him a question about home improvement. Her theory is if they are in Home Depot they probably have a job, are handy, are responsible, and aren't lazy. I mean its not the way I would but....she has really had some nice dates with guys. LOL.
I wish I had better advice, I met every man I ever dated at a bar EXCEPT RAH. The only alcoholic is RAH. Go figure.

Be active and be out on the world doing your thing, practicing your hobbies, living your life. The more out there you are, the more people you will meet. The more independent and happy you are, the better you will look to nice people who want quality company.
